Blind

Words of old ideas,
building walls, defending against
introspection, self imposed fear
poisoning fertile ground.

Fear raised as a shield against the unknown
thinking it’s “there”, but it’s really
“here”
in all its glory, its promise
of a new beginning, new
wisdom.

Old ideas
being left behind--
others moving into the sunshine
of the new day.
